Re: Sad or stupid reasons you've parted ways with friends

(Anonymous) 2017-06-12 02:33 pm (UTC)(link)
A friend's daughter ran away with a guy that she met online. She left as soon as she turned eighteen. (Backstory: kid has a deadbeat psycho dad and was raised by my friend, a depressive, single mom who at times has lived off of the dole and money her now-deceased mother gave her, and who has also cleaned homes for money; who has suffered emotional/physical/sexual abuse; and who mixes beer and prescription pills to numb her psychological pain.) My friend asked ME to email her daughter and try to "talk sense" into her because she was ignoring her emails/phone calls.
This confused me because: 1) I hadn't spoken to the daughter since she was six and hadn't seen her since she was less than a year old.
2) If she wasn't listening to her own mother then why in the world would she listen to me, pretty much a complete stranger to her?
3)Why was she surprised that her daughter ran away? She wasn't raised in a stable household.

I told my friend that no, I couldn't parent her child for her and gave the aforementioned reasons as to why not. She quit talking to me. It's been two years.
My reasons weren't stupid at all. I think they were valid. My pleas to her daughter would've fallen on deaf ears. The girl was 18. She can do what she wants and she met a guy and wanted to get out.

Your friend wanted you to be a flying monkey:

You were right to refuse.
